TO SEE TEMPS CLOSE TO OR AT 60F. HAVE ALREADY INCREASED MAX TEMPS
A FEW DEGREES. WIND GUSTS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE WITHIN THE NEXT
HOUR OR TWO PER SOUNDINGS. LOOKS LIKE EXCELLENT MIXING UP TO 900MB
SO COULD SEE SOME 20-30 MPH GUSTS.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...

POST FRONTAL AIRMASS OVERSPREADS THE REGION RAPIDLY AFTER SUNRISE
AND YIELDS MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES BY MID MORNING. COLD AIR ADVECTION
BEHIND THE FRONT TODAY IS FAIRLY WEAK WITH TRUE COLD AIR NOT
ARRIVING UNTIL LATER TONIGHT WITH SECONDARY/TRAILING SHORT WAVE
TROUGH. THIS COMBINED WITH A RELATIVELY WARM START THIS
MORNING...NEARLY FULL SUN...BLYR MIXING UP TO 900 MB COMBINED WITH
DOWNSLOPE WIND COMPONENT WILL SUPPORT TEMPS RISING RAPIDLY THRU THE
50S. AS PREVIOUS FORECASTER NOTED A FEW PLACES IN CT/RI AND
SOUTHEAST MA MAY BRIEFLY TOUCH 60 THIS AFTERNOON! HOWEVER IT WILL
FEEL A TOUCH COOLER GIVEN THE BRISK WNW WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH.
NEVERTHELESS THESE TEMPS ARE MUCH WARMER THAN NORMAL /10-15 DEGS/
WITH AVERAGE HIGHS FOR MARCH 11TH IN THE M40S.

AS FOR MODEL GUIDANCE...MOS TEMPS HAVE BEEN DISPLAYING A COOL BIAS
RECENTLY AND PROBABLY DUE TO INCREASING MARCH SUN ANGLE AND MOS
STILL USING COOL SEASON EQUATIONS. AS A RESULT BIAS CORRECTED MOS IS
WARMER AND MORE REASONABLE GIVEN THE PATTERN. THEREFORE HIGHS
TODAY WERE BASED ON BIAS CORRECTED MOS AND THEN ADDING 2 TO 3 DEGS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...
TONIGHT...

TRAILING SECONDARY SHORT WAVE TROUGH MOVES ACROSS THE AREA BETWEEN
06Z-12Z. NOT MUCH MOISTURE WITH THIS FEATURE SO JUST EXPECTING
SCATTERED CLOUDS. MORE IMPORTANTLY IS STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION IN
THE WAKE OF THIS FEATURE. THUS MUCH COLDER TOWARD DAYBREAK THU.

THURSDAY...

COLUMN DRIES SIGNIFICANTLY BEHIND DEPARTING SHORT WAVE. DESPITE
PLENTY OF MARCH SUNSHINE STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL OFFSET SOLAR
HEATING WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE M30S ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN TO
L40S ACROSS CT/RI AND SOUTHEAST MA. COOLER OVER CAPE COD AND
NANTUCKET GIVEN NW TRAJECTORY ACROSS THE ICY NEAR SHORE WATERS.
BLUSTERY NW WINDS WILL MAKE IT FEEL EVEN COOLER.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...

* DRY...COOLER WEATHER RETURNS FRIDAY
* LOW PRESSURE BRINGS SNOW...WINTRY MIX AND RAIN SAT INTO SUN
* UNSETTLED WEATHER INTO NEXT WEEK

OVERVIEW AND MODEL PREFERENCES...
ALTHOUGH A SPLIT FLOW REGIME IS FEATURED ACROSS THE CONUS THROUGH
THE LONG TERM...EXCEPT FOR THE LATE FRI-SAT TIMEFRAME...THE NRN
STREAM REMAINS DOMINANT. THEREFORE...AM NOT SURPRISED TO SEE THAT
LONGWAVE TROF ONCE AGAIN DEVELOPS ACROSS E CANADA INTO NEW
ENGLAND...SIMILAR TO THE PATTERN THROUGH MUCH OF LATE JAN AND FEB.
THE KICKER...LOOKS LIKE A POTENTIALLY PHASED NRN AND SRN STREAM
SHORTWAVE WHICH WILL APPROACH FOR THE WEEKEND...THEN DEEPEN THE
LONGWAVE TROF ACROSS THE E BY EARLY NEXT WEEK.
SURPRISINGLY...GUIDANCE IS ACTUALLY IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT ON
HOW THIS PLAYS OUT. INITIALLY...LOW PRES IN SRN CANADA BEGINS TO
OCCLUDE WITH SECONDARY TRIPLE POINT LOW FORMING SOMEWHERE INVOF
SRN NEW ENGLAND. MIX PRECIP LOOKS LIKELY...SO WHILE WE HAVE
CONFIDENCE IN A PERIOD OF SNOW CHANGING TO RAIN EXACT TIMING AND
LOCATIONS ARE MESOSCALE FEATURES. WILL HAVE A BETTER HANDLE ON
THIS AS THE NRN STREAM SHORTWAVE BECOMES BETTER SAMPLED IN THE
NEXT 24-48 HOURS. GIVEN THERE IS A RANGE IN THERMAL PROFILES...BUT
REASONABLE AGREEMENT SYNOPTICALLY...A BLEND OF DETERMINISTIC
GUIDANCE WILL COVER THE BASES FOR THIS UPDATE.

DETAILS...

THU NIGHT INTO FRI...
WILL FEEL COOLER TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK THAN IT DID TO BEGIN
THE WEEK AS H85 TEMPS FALL BACK TO AROUND -4C TO -10C. THIS WILL
ALLOW BOTH HIGHS AND LOWS TO SLIP BACK TO NEAR TO BELOW NORMAL FOR
EARLY MARCH. DRY WX PREVAILS UNDER HIGH PRES.

FRI NIGHT INTO SAT NIGHT...
OCCLUDING LOW PRES ALLOWS FOR SECONDARY DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE
VICINITY OF THE TRIPLE POINT BY LATE DAY SAT. IN ADVANCE...STRONG
ISENTROPIC LIFT IS NOTED ALONG WITH MODEST ELY 30 KT LLJ.
COMBINING THIS WITH PWATS APPROACHING 2 STD DEVIATION ABOVE
NORMAL...AND YOU HAVE ALL THE INGREDIENTS FOR A PERIOD OF MODERATE
PRECIP ACROSS THE REGION. THERMAL PROFILES ARE COOL ENOUGH FOR AN
ALL SNOW START AWAY FROM THE S COAST. THEN THROUGH THE MORNING
HOURS...FROM SW TO NE...EXPECT GRADUAL TRANSITION TO SLEET...THEN
FREEZING RAIN. S-SE FLOW WITH HIGH PRES SLIDING MORE E THAN
NE...SUGGESTS LITTLE DRAINAGE FLOW IN THE LOW LVLS...SO SUSPECT
THAT THE CHANGEOVER TO STRAIGHT RAIN WILL BE COMPLETE DURING EARLY
DAYLIGHT HOURS ON SAT. THIS WILL BE AS THE H85 0C LINE MAKES IT
ALL THE WAY INTO VT AND NH.

QPF VALUES ARE HIGHEST ALONG THE S COAST...WHERE AS MUCH AS
1.0-1.25 INCHES OF TOTAL QPF IS POSSIBLE...LESS TOWARD THE N.
THEREFORE..CAN/T RULE OUT AN INCH-3 INCHES OR SO OF INITIAL
SNOWFALL WITH ABOUT 0.10-0.25 OF THE QPF FALLING WHILE IT/S COLD
ENOUGH FOR SNOW. A TRACE OF ICE...WITH AS MUCH AS HALF ON INCH OR
SLIGHTLY HIGHER OF LIQUID RAIN. THESE VALUES ARE LIKELY TO CHANGE
AS THERMAL PROFILES ARE FINALIZED OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

EVEN THROUGH RAIN IS EXPECTED...THE COLD START AND LOSS OF WATER
IN THE SNOWPACK WITH SOME OF THE RECENT WARM WEATHER WILL LIKELY
PREVENT RIVER/STREAM FLOODING ISSUES WITH THIS EVENT.
HOWEVER...WILL LIKELY SEE SOME POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING DUE TO
CLOGGED DRAINS AS WELL AS STANDING/PONDING WATER ON AREA ROADWAYS.

SUN...
ROBUST UPPER LVL SHORTWAVE /THE ONE WHICH IS LIKELY TO RE-
ESTABLISH THE ERN CANADA TROF/ WILL BE ROTATING THROUGH DURING
THE DAY SUN. STRONG COLD ADVECTION AND SOME LEFTOVER MOISTURE IS
NOTED. THEREFORE...COULD SEE THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOME SNOW SHOWERS
ACROSS THE AREA. SOME OF WHICH COULD DROP MODERATE+ SNOWFALL
BRIEFLY THANKS TO MODEST LOW-MID LVL INSTABILITY AND DYNAMIC
COOLING. MAY HAVE TO WATCH FOR AN ISOLATED SQUALL AS WELL.

MON INTO TUE...
COOL START BUT ANOTHER ROUND OF RAPID WARMING AHEAD OF AN
APPROACHING COLD FRONT FOR TUE. MODERATE MOISTURE CONVERGENCE AND
WARMING COULD LEAD TO RAIN ACROSS THE REGION...BUT WILL HAVE TO
WATCH LOW LVL TEMPS AS ANOTHER MIXED PRECIP EVENT /ALTHOUGH
BRIEF/ CAN/T BE RULED OUT.

MID WEEK...
COLD AIR ONCE AGAIN SETTLES ACROSS THE REGION AS THE ERN CANADA
TROF DEVELOPS. EXPECT TEMPS BELOW NORMAL.

SHORT-TERM /THROUGH THU/...

TODAY...S-SW WINDS EARLY THIS MORNING BECOME WNW BY MID MORNING
BEHIND A DEPARTING COLD FRONT. DENSE FOG LIFTS AND ERODES WITH THE
WIND SHIFT.  ANY LEFTOVER RAIN SHOWERS MOVE OFFSHORE BY 8 AM. WNW
WINDS GUSTS UP TO 20 KT.

TONIGHT...WNW WINDS BECOME NNW LATE AND INCREASE TO 20-30 KT AS
SECONDARY COLD FRONT SWEEPS ACROSS THE WATERS BETWEEN 2 AM AND 8 AM.
DRY WEATHER AND GOOD VSBY PREVAIL.

THU...NW WINDS 20-30 KT CONTINUE AND BEGIN TO DIMINISH TOWARD
SUNSET. DRY WEATHER AND GOOD VSBY CONTINUE.

OUTLOOK...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY.

THU NIGHT THROUGH FRI...HIGH CONFIDENCE.
WINDS AND SEAS DIMINISH THU NIGHT INTO FRI...SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORIES COME TO AN END. HIGH PRES LEADS TO QUIET BOATING
WEATHER ON FRI.

SAT...HIGH CONFIDENCE.
ALTHOUGH WINDS AND SEAS REMAIN BELOW SCA THRESHOLDS...EXPECT
SLOWLY INCREASING SWELLS TOWARD THE EVENING HOURS. LOW PRES BRINGS
RAIN AND FOG ACROSS THE WATERS.

SUN...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
AS NE WINDS INCREASE LATE SAT NIGHT INTO SUN...SEAS BUILD FROM
E-W. LOOKS LIKE THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF GALE FORCE WIND GUSTS
DURING THE DAY ON SUN...WITH SEAS TOPPING OUT BETWEEN 8-12 FT.
